    Google Classroom allows teachers to post for daily lessons and assignments. It also allows teachers to be able to communicate with students easily outside of class. Students are able to stay connected and know where to find all information and resources easily in a streamlined manner for all of their classes.

    Hoopla is a valuable ally to improve the team's performance. [I]t is a great help for those teams that have defined and [created] clear automated metrics. However, if you are in a team where the metrics are manually evaluated, it can be hard to get excited about the progress, since it will take longer to refresh.

    Pros
    Google
    • Student-teacher communication - I love using Classroom for this because my students can always go back and check what was on Classroom by looking through the stream. This way they don't have to go dig through emails to find what they're looking for.
    • Posting to multiple classes - I can post the same announcement or assignment to multiple classes at once without having to repeat the process or send separate emails.
    • Streamlining grading - when students turn work in on Classroom, it all goes to one place and then when I'm grading I can open their documents directly from Classroom or my Drive folder. This way, I'm not looking through emails and Google Doc shared files for their assignment.

    Cons
    Google
    • The content management of the Classroom is not that good. The sub-section for notes, syllabus, or discussion is missing.
    • It doesn't have parental control feature.
    • It converts the excel output into a normal file. All the formulas and pivots got changed into plain text.

    • I wish it ran in a browser and not as a full Chrome app, would have made setup easier.
    • It was nice to have default images out of the box, more would have been nice.
    • For smaller companies, it can get pricy, quick. We 100% see the ROI to be clear.

    Testing is particularly important in online learning, and Google Classroom falls far short of other learning management systems in this regard. Security is also a concern: while account control is reasonable for the account used with Google Classroom, the person controlling a particular account is often able to, for example, forward or download proprietary materials.

    Usability
    Google
    Simple design and seamless integration with Google tools and drive, but missing some key features. However, since it is limited in overall functions and ability to truly personalize / customize, it is quite user friendly and easy to set up and get going, other than sending out the code to your course or dropping students in via their gmail account. Users of Google Forms and sites will find the layout similar in design.

    I gave it a 9 because it really is an extremely easy service to use. I would comfortably say that a brand use user could be set up and using it within just a few minutes. Hoopla has been very great about making any new update very user friendly and easy to use and figure out

    Support Rating
    Google
    Since this platform is provided by Google, the technical support is better than any others, and we are not required to bother about the space constraints for adding the contents. If we have a good uninterrupted internet facility we can access Google Classroom without any delay or lag. They have app support in both Android and iPhone.

    I have really enjoyed my relationship with our client success manger, Annette. She is always willing to hop on a call for a quick question and is very responsive. She has taken the time to walk me through how to upload new reports, set up new metrics and leaderboards, while also being helpful in setting up a new channel to broadcast

    It was relatively easy to implement due to the simplicity of the platform. Even our more technology challenged teachers found it easy to get started with Google Classroom.

    I haven't tested or evaluated another digital classroom website or application. I feel like Google Classroom is convenient for many reasons such as compatibility to Google docs, slides, etc. I also love the ability to link to YouTube and other sites. I don't know if there would be a site that is easier to maneuver.

    They were both comparable based on the tool and results on how we wanted to Broadcast sales metrics and KPI’s across the entire sales organization. Hoopla just seemed to be much easier to use with fewer bells and whistles. We felt based on the pricing structure and how we planned to display hoopla on monitors throughout our office that it was the best choice to move forward with

    • Students are able to continue learning in a remote environment
    • Parents have a single, consistent organization structure to make it easy to track assignments and progress for multiple children
    • Much better solution than the quickly assembled Zoom-and-gloom of the previous spring when school abruptly went remote with no planning

    • We hear music and folks cheer when a "Breaking News" announcement occurs. The community level engagement can not be quanitified
    • The contest environments have helped to lead sellers to stay an extra 30 minutes and make 10 more calls just to pass someone up. We see our call volume increased because of it.
    • We measure the trails of our solution that our sellers create from leads. We can see an active pursuit of those conversions to be at the top of the leaderboard. More trails, lead to more opportunities, that lead to more sales.
